Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur didn't hesitate to activate the array. The moment he did, Gege stepped in and injected her energy in full waves.

"Damn! Even after using my pearl energy, controlling that thing is still a nightmare!"

Arthur felt his body and soul being assaulted by strong and dominating waves of force coming from the twelve bones. He gritted his teeth and decided to carry on until he ended that pillar.

He kept injecting his energy inside the array while a faint glow of light started to appear gradually. He was pushing with everything he had with only one goal in mind; to make this pillar completed.

He didn't feel time passing but he took almost three hours until the full array was filled with light and nothing appeared from within. At this point he was almost depleted of energies, and if a single wave of wind blew him he would lose consciousness and fall.

'Almost there,' the golden dragon tried to encourage him but Arthur was now so weak to even reply to him. He was just trying to keep himself standing with great difficulty while the light in front of him was getting smaller and smaller.

"Rumble!"

The moment the array was formed, the entire world around him shook and then a giant single flag pole appeared with thin filaments formed what can be considered a flag. He only saw this for one second before his body fell on the ground and he struggled to take his breaths.

"Finally… I did it."

He said it with much difficulty and then he started to recuperate. He took out pills and meat to replenish all his depleted energies while Gege muttered in weak tone:

'I need to rest for a day before you can use my pearl energy again.'

'No problem,' he muttered before taking another glance at his array. 'Damn, that was nearly impossible to achieve.'

'Ding! But this array is worth its weight in gold.'

'Is it that strong?' Arthur muttered.

'It is,' the golden dragon said before adding, 'I'm pretty sure it isn't that far from the stick you had from that master of yours.'

'Wow, that strong?' Arthur was now much eager to take it in his hand but just as he was about to move, he felt great pain all over his body to stop him.

And then the array suddenly vanished from his eyesight.

"What the hell…?"

"What?" the lead master said in an aggressive tone, "the array should be tested and evaluated before the final result is given."

Arthur felt greater pain when he heard these words.

'Don't worry,' the golden dragon suddenly laughed, 'no one but you can use that pillar and array.'

'Really?'

'Ding! The array is filled with your blood, no one can tame it as it already acknowledged its master.'

'Phew,' Arthur heaved a long sigh of relief and then he stayed there eating pills and meat while waiting for the final decision of the towers.

"Boom!"

Suddenly this loud explosive sound came from high up where the towers were. Arthur turned his gaze to see a long trail of smoke getting out from the towers and getting near him at extreme speed.

"Boom!"

The next instant the array appeared again beside him before the five envoys appeared again with twisted faces and weird reactions over their faces.

"What the hell did you just make?" Goden hurried to ask before bitterly laughing, "this berserk beast didn't allow even our masters to prey on it."

"It's considered a high array then," Arthur laughed before standing with much difficulty.

"This is something we can all agree upon," Reem said before adding, "but we need to know its effect. Can you show it to us?"

Arthur shook his head as he honestly said, "I just created it on a whim, I don't know what its effect would be."

The five glanced weirdly at him while Dolan laughed and said:

"Anyway it's your win. Be ready to start the final test now."

"The fight?" Arthur muttered before asking, "the special ability test is still ongoing."

"You mistook me kid," Dolan shook his head while a vicious expression appeared on his face. "our team has surrendered and all the teams that will face you surrendered. You are a winner by default and now the five final teams are ready to start the final test."

"What?!!"

Arthur was shocked by these words but his mind provided him with the perfect explanation the next instant. "I need time to recuperate," he said while his eyes showed his defiance to this obvious trap.

"Rejected," Dolan shook his head before adding, "it's not single fights but teams, so your status can't affect the course of the competition."

Arthur turned his gaze towards his allies, but he found Reem and Goden sigh while shaking off their heads.

"Sorry Willy we were outvoted," Reem apologized.

Arthur was just surprised by this as he turned his gaze towards Sam and Antony as both just nodded to confirm what he thought.

"C'mon, don't waste more time," Dolan laughed before adding, "the test will be conducted at that mountain."

Arthur followed his finger as one of the two mountains was pointed out by Dolan. He simply waved a goodbye to him before vanishing from the place.

"Sorry Willy," Antony said, "the lycan master just gave an offer that can't be refused by any master."

"No problem," Arthur shrugged as he touched the giant pole and held it in hand. Strangely it was lighter than he thought and he felt some intimacy with it like holding an old friend.

"Take care of yourself," Reem said before adding, "very well as it seems hard times are waiting for you there."

She was the last to leave and Arthur simply took another pill and piece of meat before smiling in confidence. "Let's see what's all this about," he muttered before turning his gaze towards the dean up there.

And the dean simply had a smirking smile over his face.
